Chicken and Pasta in Wine and Mustard Sauce



2 cups chicken cut into pieces
1 cup small pasta such as orzo (I broke spaghetti into pieces)
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons bouillon
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons corn starch
Olive or coconut oil
2 cups zucchini, broccoli, or other vegetable cut into small pieces

Cut chicken into small pieces and saute in olive or coconut oil until tender.

Add bouillon, sliced mushrooms, 1 cup pasta, chopped garlic, white wine, and two cups water

Simmer until pasta is done - about 12 minutes

Mix melted butter, mustard, turmeric, and corn starch

Add mustard sauce to chicken and mushrooms and stir

Add zucchini, cover, and turn off heat. Let sit for 20 minutes to soften zucchini slightly.

It is somehow more aggravating to wait two minutes for for the microwave than than two hours for the oven. Oliver Burkeman
